One of our favorite media promoters of global warming alarmism, Bryan Walsh of TIME, sinks his teeth into residential wind farms in his latest article.
Wind is a great form of alternative energy, Walsh tells us. So why haven?t more people turned to wind to help power their homes? The government hasn?t devoted enough confiscated money for that purpose, of course:
What’s really held back residential wind power has been the lack of federal subsidies, which have fed the growth of other renewables like solar and large-scale wind. “We’ve had zero federal assistance,” says Ron Stimmel, [a] small-wind expert.
Walsh doesn?t seem to understand that a venture that survives only with taxpayer help is not viable on its own. For more on the myths connected to wind power, see Daren Bakst?s report here.
